Around here, the term "braces" means the curly ones - { and } - that delimit blocks of code in C, and dictionaries/sets in Python. "Brackets" may be what you're looking for, if you mean all of ()[]{}. Or if you just mean (), they're called "parentheses". If your point is that parens are used more often than packing/unpacking, that's almost certainly true, since function calls (including method invocations) are so prevalent in pretty much any code. But what does that prove? ChrisA -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
